LYME ACTION GROUP

Southern-Ontario based, our purpose is to lobby the Ministry of Health: 1)To recognize reputable laboratories in the U.S. and elsewhere, which appropriately test for Lyme disease; 2)To improve Canadian testing to the same standard; 3)To adopt treatment protocols of physicians who are knowledgeable in Lyme treatment; 4)To ensure that Ontario physicians are free to treat Lyme patients using internationally accepted protocols, without interference by the CPSO.

On May 17th the lights on Niagara Falls will be going green for Lyme disease awareness month.

People will be congregating there, coming from various parts of the country to show solidarity and support for the thousands of patients suffering from Lyme disease in CANADA. Please come out and join us. Your presence and support means so very much to Lyme patients and their families. Show them that you care by being there on behalf of those who are bedridden or too ill to be in attendance themselves.

There is a bus going to Niagara from Brampton for this event. For more information click here.

Have you ever seen the Falls lit up at night?. Bring your friends and family and make an outing of it!

The Lyme Walk in Chingaucousy Park on May 19, 2012, with a link to the park, the address, and information, can be found on this link: Lyme Walk in Brampton - at the above address.

The core group or committee arranging the walk, is working hard at getting everything sorted out and ready to go on the web. We have had several meetings with the Park events coordinator, we are in email contact with the Brampton City Councillors and others, and we are trying to set everything up to make it easy for people to take part. (*Brampton will proclaim May 2012 Lyme Awareness Month! http://t.co/dga2fRpu )

Those who want to travel the distance, can make arrangements for hotels, or save airmiles, or put a few dollars away every month. Very close to the park is a newly renovated Holiday Inn, and the bus services are very well arranged with stops all around the park. Please post in the Comments on the Lymewalk website if you have specific questions or recommendations!

"Volunteers so far are doing all the work, donating time, effort and talents. I’m in contact with several forms of media and will continue to do so, but of course the more info that can be sent, the better our chances of getting coverage.

As for funds – any funds raised after expenses, will be donated to the Canadian Lyme Disease Foundation, charitable organization numbered 864437603RR0001.

About us

This non-profit group, which operates on a completely volunteer basis, was convened by concerned persons who want to see much needed change in Canada's medical system. Lyme patients need access to reliable tests in Canada. Our medical practitioners need access to up-to-date information on Lyme disease. Canada's doctors should be free to treat Lyme and Chronic Lyme disease without fear of persecution or prosecution. Because of the political nature of our activities, we are unable to issue charitable tax receipts for donations.

***Please note: The Lyme Action Group is not a "support" group. We direct you to the Lyme Disease Association of Ontario and the Canadian Lyme Foundation for any required support.
